I know people here like to hate Telegram but it is extremely common in certain areas and groups.

Why not WhatsApp or Signal then?

None of them has a working public API as far as I know.

The WhatsApp API is not as open as Telegram's, you have to apply and pay and so on AFAIK. IDK about signal but feels even more nichey than Telegram. I want to focus on doing one channel well than then expand to others

I think we agree and my wording was a but clumsy. Sorry for that.
